"We should defederate from everything which does not agree with my .world view and create a giant centralized echo chamber"!

Why the fuck does every .world user suddenly want Lemmy to be Reddit?

Personally I would like to be able to talk to people with different views, in a civil manner. But Lemmy.ml doesn't seem to want that. If you post something that they don't like (even if it's a very moderate view and is expressed in a completely civil way) then they ban you. They seem to really hate moderate people.

Most of the users saying this went around screaming the word Tankie all over the place on .ml.

I got instance banned for saying federal democratic republics are a form of democracy.

Edit: I also don't care. I never expected M-Ls to do anything besides M-L things and they don't owe me anything.

Modlogs are public, everyone can see why you were banned.

Also no ml would disagree with that, here's Lenin explaining the difference between a capitalist democracy and a workers democracy.

Everyone can see why the mod said they were banned. If you believe the mod logs, I was banned from 196 for "supporting genocide"

If you believe in modlogs, then drag was banned from [email protected] for "trolling", which is what a trans person explaining their pronouns is.

No, drag's name is Dragon Rider.

Probably shouldn't support genocide then ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I would love for you to find the comment where I did that

Which is why you can see them do it exactly as stated. "American propaganda" lol.

Have fun hanging around people who ban people for disagreeing with the party line of a dead ideology that had its corpse cannibalized by fascists. That will surely lead to the second revolution.

Can you point at me where it says you were banned for "American propaganda"? I tried ctrl+f "propaganda" to see what you were saying that got you banned and nothing came up.

Nobody is going to disagree that a bourgeois democracy is a democracy, only that bourgeois democracies represent the people instead of bourgeoisie.

That'd be the part where they hid the actual comments and mod responses on all the .ml communities. Interesting that it rewrites the history when they decide to undo it, I hadn't actually noticed it expired.

So weird and uncharacteristic of M-Ls to do something shitty and then delete the records and then lie about the cause because it makes them look bad...

.world communities do the same thing, just banning someone for "misinformation" looks much less suspicious than showing posts of me linking people the Wikipedia article on Tienanmen Square and describing what the article said and surrounding context instead of joining the china-bad circle-jerk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

There's a pretty big difference between arguing the details of something as controversial as Tianamen and instance banning anyone that doesn't use the Party-approved definition of democracy even though they clearly referred to a specific form of it.

every accusation is a confession.

I've never banned anybody for saying their view, and I don't think I'd support someone being banned for saying their view, as long as they're being respectful, and as long as they're not advocating anything criminal.

"Different world views" isn't a problem, the problem is users espousing repugnent "world views" and being assholes.

Pretending like we have to put up with other users' repulsive, insane "ideas" and bullying behavior in our spaces is laughable. Bigots, fascists, and actual tankies can fuck off.
